The Triple Climate Crisis

Throughout the Trade Justice campaign, Christian Aid worked very closely with Third World Network and its director Martin Khor. Not only is Martin continuing his campaigning work to achieve trade justice for developing countries, but he is also advising the G77 governments on international climate change negotiations in the UNFCCC. Martin Khor describes how developing countries are facing a Triple Crisis: poverty, climate change and some of the potential solutions to climate change.

In this podcast, Martin Khor explains why the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol in their current forms are generally favourable for developing countries, and also why rich countries’ attempts to force developing countries to increase their commitments to reduce carbon emissions is simply not affair or feasible option.
